Installing the server into a rack or pedestal

Rack installation

HP rack

HP servers that are installed into racks are shipped with equipment-mounting slides. The HP 2U
Quick Deploy Rail System Installation Instructions for HP Products ships with each set of slides.
Follow the steps in this installation guide to determine where and how to install the server into the
rack.
For more information on rack deployment, stabilization and transportation, see the 10000 Series
G2 Rack Best Practices Guide.

Non-HP rack

For information on installing a rx2800 i4 server in a third party rack, see the QuickSpecs located
on the HP Integrity rx2800 i4 Server product page at
http://h18000.www1.hp.com/products/quickspecs/14464_div/14464_div.HTML

Pedestal kit installation

If you order the rackless configuration option, the server ships with a pedestal mount. The pedestal
mount is packaged in a separate carton that is attached to the server carton.

Remove the rails from the server

If your server has rails when you receive it, you need to remove the rails before mounting it in the
pedestal kit. To remove the component:
1. Slightly pull the rail lock away from the rail to unlock the rail. See
2. Slide the rail toward the front of the server to disengage the rail from the posts on the server.
